A SIMILAR two page spread in the 1953 Pine Knot
posed the question : Progress in the past 50 years
has been great . . . now what about the next 50
years? Not even Nostrodamus could see that far
into the future with complete accuracy, but recent
developments have made it possible for us to pre-
dict the next ten years. In November of 1953 the
president, of Atlantic Christian College, Dr. Travis
A. White, announced to the college faculty, the
students and to the public at large a proposed pro-
gram of expansion for the college which is expected
to cover a ten year period. To be included in the
expansion program are: accreditation by the South-
ern Association, additions to the faculty, a substan-
tial increase in total number of students, the pro-
vision of much new classroom and library equipment
and a more representative athletic program. But
probably the most important and far reaching point
in the program was the announcement that the
board of trustees have approved the construction
of a number of new buildings, and the renovation
of some already in existence, to cost a total of
$1,750,000.

To be constructed under the new building program are a new class-
room and administration building to replace Kinsey Hall, a new science
building, a dormitory, a new gymnasium, infirmary, president's home,
and the major renovation of the old gymnasium into a student union.
The science building is the first for which contracts will be let. Plans
for several other of the new buildings are already in Benton and Sons,
Wilson, N. C. Design consultant for the program is Mr. Edward W. Waugh,
professor of Architecture in the School of Design, North Carolina State
College, Raleigh, N. C.

In selecting Mr. Waugh to fill the advisory capacity of design consultant
the board of trustees of the college have indicated a desire for functional
architecture and a gradual change to more contemporary styling of future
buildings which, one might feel, is indicative of the spirit of progress
planned for the next ten years. And, in answer to the 1953 Pine Knot,
probably this will be typical of the progress of the next fifty years.

Sometimes there is no way of discern-
ing, except in retrospect, what a person
is like. There are those people who seem
brusque, sour, forbidding, and actually
are all these things. And there are those
people whom, at first glance, seem just
as forbidding — but who, in retrospect,
turn out to be memorable characters be-
cause of their intensely human nature.
Such a person is liable to be a faithful
worker and partisan over a period of as
much as thirty-three years. It is possible
that such a person would make the timid
quake with fright, make all others aware
of warmth and friendship as liberal as her
large pocketbook. Dogs of unknown pedi-
gree might find here a friendly, if some-
what rough, voice. And though this person
would be dismayed to learn that it could
be true, she might sometimes scare even
the bravest out of a year's growth because
of unorthodox handling of an automobile.
A sports fan would this person be. And
the amazing thing is that many people
would not realize this to be true until
much later — in retrospect. Such a per-
son is Mildred Ross, to whom we dedicate
the 1954 Pine Knot.

Mildred's method of transpor-
tation has changed in the last ten
years from a bicycle to a car.

the president of

Atlantic Christian College

Dr. White, our genial president,
came to us from Lubbock, Texas.
He has his vices . . . loves a good
cup of coffee, a day in the coun-
try with his huntin' dog and gun,
has never been known to pass up
an opportunity to go fishing. He
has a soft spot in his heart for a
Western movie, hill-billy songs,
and square-dancing. And he also
has his virtues ... a nimble wit
and pronounced flair for mixing
humor and philosophy, a deep
sense of love and appreciation for
youth and a desire to share in
their training, a way of just
growing into our lives by mere
acquaintance. There is just some-
thing unique about his person-
ality which makes us all admire
and respect him.

Wilson, N. C.

The Student Body:

I stood by as you eagerly hustled on to the campus with bag and bundles that Sun-
day afternoon in September as school opened;

My heart swelled with pride as I stood on the Courthouse steps and witnessed our
Homecoming parade;

There was a deep satisfaction as I watched one of our ministerial students preside
with dignity and ability over the worship services of one of our great churches;

I watched a group of boys play their hearts out in a basketball game — it was good,
clean ball they played;

I was part of an audience that heard one of our future teachers preside over the pro-
gram of the afternoon — she did it with modest charm and grace;

I listened with you to the beauty of our Christmas musicale and felt again the holi-
ness of that season;

I have shared your periods of relaxation at Tweeties — and enjoyed them;

I've observed you come and go to your classes in Old Kinsey — not much life left in
the old building, but your zeal and enthusiasm is that of youth with a purpose;

For this "adopted Tar Heel" its been a wonderful year.

The small dark cell was cold, very cold, and the -gusts^ef :! wmd-

ough the paneless window almost cast the light of the little lamp into
darkest oblivion . . . but still it nickered on, casting forth its small feeble
light out into the deathly still of the midnight. ."TTThe halls and cubli-
cles were all silent now — no sound of "Gloria in Excelsis" came triunv

hantly rolling forth from the Chapel — no sound of "Aves" — no devout

telling of beads. . . , All w as silent. ... So silent! . . .Except for the eerie

scratching of the quill, as the frozen, boney fingers painfully forced; it

down the wonderful things on the cold paper. .

the /feeble light — but on and on worked the quill. . . . Death stood just

,^g»'HE spiritual life of the students of A. C. C. is uplifted through the efforts of the
it\ Student Christian Association. It delves into all phases of the individual life
^"■"through a well-planned cycle of weekly programs including vesper services for
worship, discussion programs to promote intelligent thought on current problems, and
recreation just for wholesome fun.

One of the highlights of its annual achievement is sponsoring Religious Emphasis
Week — three days devoted entirely to drawing students closer to God.

Charitable drives are also included in a busy schedule. The World University Serv-
ice Fund is the inspiration for sending students all over Wilson on an annual bread sale
one morning at "dawn."

Each student of Atlantic Christian College is automatically a member of the S. C. A.,
but the active membership is composed of those who pledge their service to the organi-
zation. There are 57 active members, who work together in this Christian cause.

RELIGIOUS EMPHASIS WEEK

Each year there is set aside one week devoted to Christian wor-
ship, and fellowship through discussion and recreation.

This year, the campus welcomed as their leader — Dr. Myron T.
Hopper, Dean of the College of the Bible, Lexington, Kentucky.
Dr. Hopper focused his talks on the theme, "Christ — A Man's Man."
A discussion on "How Do We Know There Is A God?" was led by
Rev. Joe Brooks and Dr. Randall Cutlip led a discussion group on
""Marriage."

The highlight of the week was an impressive Sunrise Communion
service. However, the success of the week's activities was the spiri-
tual insight each student gained, and it was felt to be a most suc-
cessful effort.

|ation and production of any kind
is\.an adventure, both exciting and
;, both frustrating and grim. In
espects the creation of a college an-
Miore challenging — to those
nvolvdd — than any other type of
lot enough for the editor and
d write about campus activities and
ilities. It is not enough to fill a book
eds of pictures. These things do
Bd the year's activities, and
fthing of the school's spirit
lat is not enough. The book, the
Pine Knot — must do all this
it must have a life of its own. It
id. that this annual will reflect that
:it of individuality, and if it does it will
be because of a long tradition of successful
W*ine Knots — and because of the staff who
worked to make this year's Pine Knot the
best ever produced at Atlantic Christian
College. For, in spite of delays and unfor-
seen obstacles, the staff has worked steadily
toward the realization of the 1954 Pine Knot.

being expanded and perfected (in
a new building to be completed
in 1955, the department will be
given new and larger quarters).

'Atlantic Christian College is proud of the
achievement of its band. Dr. Millard Burt
came to the campus this year with the needed
spark of enthusiasm that encouraged music-
ians to get out their instruments and begin
practicing. Homecoming found them, clad
in new uniforms of blue and gray, marching
down the streets of Wilson in the annual
parade. Thair first concert proved successful
also; so the foundation was laid. Throughout
the year thly have led parades and have
made several appearances in chapel for stu-
dents and the general public of Wilson. The
band has increased considerably in size —
from a small "handful" to forty-five music-
ians who eagerly combine their talent to
make music ring over the campus of our
college.

le faculty
and student body presents a program
which deals with one of the various
departments in the college. These
programs are produced and directed
by Mr. Jim Fulghum. The announcer
is Paul Crouch.

Each program is arranged by a
faculty member of the Radio Work-
shop. The members are Mr. Howard,
chairman; Mr. Sharp, Dr. Hartsock,
Mrs. Holsworth and Mr. Brown.

JACK McCOMAS former North Caro-
lina State College basketball ace, has
guided the Bulldogs for the past three
years. He came to Atlantic Christian in
September, 1951, as Head Coach and Di-
rector of Physical Education. Formerly
from Shelbyville, Indiana, McComas
played basketball in Germany on the 15th
Army corps team along with Paul Horvath
and Vic Bubas. After getting out of serv-
ice this trio decided to come to N. C. State.
Here McComas gained his reputation for
being one of the most versatile and con-
sistent players in the conference. He
played both guard and forward and made
All Southern Conference his sophomore
year.

McComas also played professional base-
ball for the Boston Braves at Denver,
Raleigh, and Wilson.

Coach McComas main objective is to
give A. C. a representative team in the
North State Conference. This year's
basketball team is the visible result of
his progress and determination.

TOM PRITCHARD, a senior at A. C. is assistant
Varsity Coach and Head Coach of the Junior Var-
sity Basketball Team. During baseball season he
may be found coaching the Pitchers on a few of the
techniques he acquired during his seven years of
professional baseball. He has coached high school
for five years prior to becoming coach at Atlantic
Christian College. He is married and is the father
of two daughters. Tom played varsity basketball
with the bulldogs during his freshman year.

MISS TOMLINSON, a native of Black
Creek, N. C, came to A. C. in September,

The Women's Athletic Association offers a varied sports
program for women. Among the activities sponsored is
the Intramural Program which provides wholesome inter-
collegiate recreation and competition. The W. A. A. also
represent A. C. C. in competition against other schools at
play days. Other than fun and recreation, the W. A. A.
promotes sportsmanship, better understanding of sports,
and gives a sense of responsibility.

JUNIOR VARSITY
BASKETBALL

The "Bull Pups" finished their season with
a very impressive record of fourteen vic-
tories and no defeats. They scored 973 points
for an average of 69.5 points a game. This
was against a total of 635 points. High scorer
for the season was Charles Hester, who
averaged 11 points a game for a total of
154 points. Under the coaching of Tom

The Bulldogs of 1953-54 have proven to be about the best
basketball team to perform here at A. C. C. From a total of 27
games played, A. C. has a season's record of eighteen victories
and nine defeats, one of the best records in the conference. Nine
non-conference games were played with only one loss to the
powerful McCrary Eagles, a semi-pro team.

At the beginning of the conference season, the Bulldogs got
off to a slow start, but soon began to show their North State
foes they meant business. At the season's end, A. C.'s Con-
ference record stood at 11 wins and 8 losses, giving them a crack
at the North State Tournament in Lexington. Bill Beecham,
high scorer with a total of 320 points, made the All-Conference
team.

The only senior on this year's team is Kelly Byrum, a real
hustling forward from Ryland, N. C. Everyone is looking anx-
iously forward next year and another crack at the North State
Conference Championship.

NORTH STATE CONFERENCE

TOURNAMENT

In their first game of the North State Tournament at Lexing-
ton the Bulldogs set a new tournament scoring record and
knocked out Catawba by 100-74. This placed them against
Lenoir-Rhyne in the semi-finals. In a very hard fought game
A. C. came out the victor 77-73, thus giving the bulldogs a
crack at their old rivals, the East Carolina Pirates. In this final
game, the powerful Pirates defeated A. C. by 86-75. The Bull-
dogs received the runner-up trophy and placed four men on the
All-tournament team. John Marley and Jerry Williams were
on the first team and Billy Tomlinson and Billy Widgeon were
on the second team.

When Coach Jack McComas met his baseball
aspirants for the 1953 season, he became ac-
quainted with a large number of freshmen many
of whom filled starting positions on the nine that
played the season.

Considering the new men in the lineup and
their lack of college experience, the baseballers
turned in a creditable record. Coach McComas'
youngsters, thanks to some fine pitching on the
part of Louis Todd, Bill Beacham, Jose Domin-
guez, Howard Ham, Roger Philyaw and Fitzhugh
Thompson, won five contests and almost turned
the trick in four other games.

The infield, though a young one, was well
balanced and a good defensive group. Those play-
ing infield were Bill Williams, Jack Harris, Bobby
Morris, Edward "Ham" Crowder, and Jerry Wil-
liams.

The outfield was strong because of the fine play
of Bill Price, Jimmy "Rooster" Davis, Kelly
Byrum, and Carl "Corky" Wheeler.

Perry Moore and Owen Strickland handled
the duties behind the plate in yeoman fashion.

It was a building year for A.C.C. in baseball.
The fruits of a not too successful season were
that every man on the team was scheduled to be
back for action during the 1954 campaign.

PSYCHOLOGY

PHILOSOPHY

' B 5

<y4tirr forth

RELIGION

The educational philosophy of At-
lantic Christian College is based on
the premise that all education must
be spiritual as well as factual, that
man and society have an inherent
need for religion and ethics, and
that there is a definite place in the
present day picture of higher educa-
tion for the school which seeks to
train the spirit and the emotions as
well as the mind. In keeping with
this idea Atlantic Christian College
maintains a strong department of
Religious Education. It has been
true in the past; it is true in the
present.

EDUCATION

Each passing year makes it more apparent that
our teacher training program — at Atlantic Chris-
tian College and other colleges and universities
throughout the whole United States — is of the
utmost importance. The increased attention being
paid to the needs of the Education Department
are indicative of the administration's awarenesj
of this fact and their efforts to meet the incrj
demands of a bumper crop of World War II
babies who are in our public schools now.

LANGUAGES

French, Spanish, Ger-
man — maybe even
some English? Here
one will find all of
these in large amounts
— or small, as the oc-
casion or the demand
might require.
Through these portals
pass some of the most
disgruntled students in
the world, and some
of the most thoroughly
trained.

BUSINESS

The 1953-54 school year saw another step
in the development of the Department of
Business Administration. The addition of
Mr. Harry Swain to the faculty of this
department, and the purchase of ad-
ditional equipment for classroom use in
practical training would seem to argue
a bright future for both the department
and the college. With the space expected
in the new classrom building, both stu-
dents and faculty in this department may
look forward to more constructive use of
time and effort in the future.

SCIENCE

ENGLISH— DRAMA

The great variety of activities which
go on in the English Department are
symbolized by the two photographs
on this page. Above, the more aca-
demic side of the serious business of
learning English, whether it be Com-
position and Grammar or one of the
literature courses — English Litera-
ture, American Literature, Modern
Novel, Shakespeare, of the many of-
fered. Right, Comparative Drama.
In recent years drama has become
one of the most popular courses in
the English Department and the
results obtained have been outstand-
ing. Within the past year one of the
! students of the Play Production Class
has won first prize in a national con-
test for student playwrites.

HOM

Welcome Alumni! These shouts were the cli-
max to weeks of preparation and anticipation.

It all began back in September when the Pan
Hellenic Council ( upper left ) was asked to under-
take the tremendous job of planning Homecoming.
Students and faculty worked and planned for the
big event. The fireworks began to explode on
November 20 when our band led the parade of
twelve floats through Wilson. The Women's Ath-
letic Association won first prize as the best float.

Alumni registered signs of surprise at the
growth and improvements of A.C.C. That night

OMING

a winning basketball team scored a defeat over
the Cherry Point Marines. During the half, the
Homecoming Court was presented and Suzanne
Gill was crowned queen.

On Saturday the festivities continued with a
band concert, a musical program given by the
Mixed Chorus and a tour of the campus. Satur-
day night a dance brought a close to the week
end's events.

Homecoming was a big success and only
through the tireless efforts of Pan Hel could this
have been a perfect week end.
